That being said given the violent nature of some of the right wing tea party rhetoric that mainstream, seemingly legitimate news sources like Fox News have been spouting it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. I hope this is a wake-up call for the GOP, they need to condemn and stop pandering to these lunatics. It's happened twice before, that I can remember off the top of my head. I mentioned them in a post earlier in the thread. So given those two incidents, plus this, I doubt the tealiban will stop their rhetoric. Although, given that it's a member of congress this time, I may be wrong. | ||

police identified 4 men that were threatening the judge who was killed over a lawsuit he settled involving immigration. Perhaps she wasn't the main target? | ||

That is what struck me most too.... How can you take a point-blank headshot and still survive - I am sure the damage will be immense, but the actuality of being alive after such a trauma is mind blowing and a huge credit to the emergency service response and healthcare. | ||
